Monopoly Here & Now here and out now on N-Gage

After a rather barren spell for the platform, it’s good to be able to announce that Monopoly Here & Now: The World Edition is finally available for N-Gage.

This modern take on the classic boardgame replaces the London-only streets and train stations of the original with famous cities from around the world.

There are also new playing pieces to use (including a sumo wrestler and a London taxi), new highrise hotels to build and interesting ‘Did You Know?’ trivia when you pick up a Community Chest or Chance card.

Having had a very brief tinker with the free Trial version, we also noted that the sound had been given a notable boost since the mobile version. EA has included an array of charming effects and a chirpy score, which is a common use of the extra headroom afforded by the N-Gage platform.

Find out what the full deal is when we review the game soon.
